        Subject: Traditions of Magic in Late Antiquity web site



Based on a display in the University of Michigan Library's Special 
Collections, the Traditions of Magic in Late Antiquity web site is 
available at 

http://www.hti.umich.edu/exhibit/magic

The site, based on the exhibition catalog by Gideon Bohak, is divided into
three sections: one deals with manuals of magical practices, another
presents various protective devices, and the third presents some of the
more aggressive uses of ancient magic.  Images of the objects,
translations of inscriptions, and information about their creation are
included. 

The web site is sponsored by the Humanities Text Initiative.
